Collection Al Uderzo #6

Part of Egmont Ehapa's "Collection Al Uderzo" series, this 1991 volume brings together the talents of René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo for "Korsar des Königs" — a tale that sounds every bit as swashbuckling as its title suggests. François Walthéry's cover art sets a lively, sea-sprayed scene: a motley crew of broadly caricatured characters — including a burly cook brandishing a mallet, a scruffy sailor, a blond kid, and several other colorful figures — crammed together on a makeshift raft amid choppy waves and swooping seagulls. It's a wonderfully chaotic snapshot that captures the humor and high-seas energy Goscinny and Uderzo brought to their work together.
